DJ Has Surgery!

Yesterday, DJ had minor surgery... it was also was his 6 month birthday!

We got to the hospital early in the morning.

DJ fussed a little since he was hungry and wasn't allowed to eat before surgery... he wasn't as fussy as I thought he would be!

GOOD BOY!

Daddy was such a huge help in keeping DJ calm and happy before hand.

I was really nervous!

The nurses and Drs kept coming and having us fill out a lot of papers... and answering several questions... it seemed to take forever!

Finally it was time to take DJ back for the surgery... I was much more nervous now!

When they were done, the Dr said that everything went well! DJ got sick and threw up after and was very lethargic from the general anesthesia... but we are glad that everything went well... and we headed home!

DJ was so sleepy... so he slept and slept and slept!

A few hours later... DJ acted like nothing happened! I'm pretty sure that I'd be whining for pain meds right about now! He's a super champ!

Charlie Brown Photo Shoot...

Poor DJ has to put up with his mommy's picture-taking shenanigans! :) We saw this shirt at the store and couldn't resist! :)
I propped DJ in the corner of the fireplace, put some grippy shoes on him so his feet wouldn't slide... and wa-la, DJ can stand! :)
He would start to fall over in slow motion and I'd catch him... in between this... I was able to get a few shots! DJ hasn't even sat up by himself yet... but he has mastered the roll from back to front, and has only done the front to back roll once. :)
But look: he STANDS by himself.. SEE!

DJ Rolls Over!

On Jan 9, 2009 in the evening, I put DJ on the floor to play... (ON HIS BACK) then I went into the kitchen for something... Don was right next to DJ fixing something on the tv. Don asked me if I put DJ on his back or tummy... I said, I put him on his back... Don said, well... he's on his tummy! WE MISSED HIS FIRST ROLL... LOL but he did it again... and again... and does it all the time now. Bad thing is he doesn't know what to do once he gets there... and his head is too heavy to hold up so he gets mad. :)

DJ & Tiffany Head to Michigan!

We rang in the new year at home in Dallas... Don asleep in the lazy boy, DJ asleep in his crib... and I was half asleep packing for our trip to Michigan!
Don's twin brother Dan and his family lived close to us in Utah, but moved to Michigan with Dan's new job. We've missed them and they hadn't met DJ yet, so we set out to visit them!


Don wasn't able to go due to work... :(
We had a great time watching movies...
hanging out with the cousins...
taking baths...
DJ LOVES taking baths!!
We went to Cabela's...
More at Cabela's...
Even more at Cabela's!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
